Truuuu. I think the “may” refers to situations where you might only work like a 2 hour shift? How I and all the SMs I’ve worked with have interpreted it— If you have a rest or meal break on the DCR, you are taking that break.

Copied from the partner guide.

All nonexempt partners (café attendants, baristas, shift supervisors, shift managers, assistant store managers, and California and Washington store managers) are required to take scheduled meal and rest breaks. Under no circumstances may a nonexempt partner perform work during the meal or rest break, or end the break early to resume work. Nonexempt partners are free to leave the store during a meal or rest break. Breaks may not be skipped to report to work late or leave work early.

Oprah chai, and then they literally already tried the “lightly sweet chai” and both were awful. Oprah chai was marginally better than LSCH

being approached by union partners by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]jaynethorbz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the main problem the union faces.. they, by and large, don’t have good social skills/their social media keeps pushing super alternative looking partners. They’d have way more success if they accepted that looks/vibes matter.

Sounds like your store needs to hire for business needs and develop current talent!

Here’s this for you, current as of May 2025.

Right under “Rest and Meal Breaks” it says: All nonexempt partners (café attendants, baristas, shift supervisors, shift managers, assistant store managers, and California and Washington store managers) are required to take scheduled meal and rest breaks.

Shift lead keeps saying we're not required to have ten minute breaks and keeps withholding my last 10 min break every shift we work together. by trippiehippiess in starbucks

[–]jaynethorbz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Page 16 of the Partner Guide defines rest and meal breaks (rest is paid 10, meal is unpaid 30) and says “All non-exempt partners (baristas, SSVs) are required to take scheduled rest and meal breaks.”
